I just got back today from the weekend staycation and finished up the basic tile set for the wang tile 4 edge system. There are some other tile variation i wanna do.
During the break i watched an episode of TIny World around garden and it was quite inspiring from an art direction perspective. I think there could be something quite fascinating there if we make the character a small wild life creature that is trying to survive the garden
We can have more small creature characters and the danger of the player is not something that is pure violent but simply of the fact that they are more fragile and overwhelmed by the world around them. I am imagining a beautiful england garden with fruits and plants through out the year. And the seasonality can come into place with the environment.
Lots of cute props from human can be inserted in, similar to some that we have seen in the Ghibli’s “The secret life of Arriety”
Next steps:
.Model some garden props: acorn, peg, needles
Figure out how to store the tile information
